Put a Chick in it and Make Her Gay. And Lame.

You've never lived in Italy, I take it?

I once knew a British Barbie Doll. She was a dancer, singer and actress, however not quite talented enough to gain any traction in the British film or TV or music industry.

She emigrated to Italy where, after a couple of years, became a sought after triple-threat and VERY FAMOUS.

That was the 80's.

Fast forward.

My mother has a cable subscription to Rai Italia. She cranks her TV audio to 38 decibels due to deafness. (She finally succumbed, at age 91, to a hearing test. Her hearing aids arrive on Friday. 👏👏👏)

Anyway, I listen to her Italian TV station from where ever I am in the house. (Can't be helped. I'm not deaf.)

It's been 40 years: NOTHING HAS CHANGED in Italy, since I ran screaming from there in 1984.

It's all still UTTER CRAP.

Anyone with a shred of moxie and the slimmest of talent can still "make it" in Italy. (Especially if you speak Italian with a foreign accent. 😂😂😂😂)
